Thank you everybody for your input. I have basic knowledge about electrics and I thought I have answered those questions in my previous replies , I am not ignoring them. I will do my best to answer them. So, a fuse board in the garage is off the menu. Since I first posted here I have learned a...

Hi guys ,may be a dumb question but will a consumer unit be better that the junction box? Something like this? Thanks

Writing on it says Firetrax Gold. Quick Google search says is a fire alarm cable. I salvaged it from skip same place where I got the led strip lights. The cable was attached to a double socket.

Sorry,it does have a 3rd bare wire,but it's not copper wire,it's silver colour. The other 2 have blue and brown colours . Is it ok to use? Thank you

Hi all, I'm planning to run a cable from the house to the garage to power a few sockets and a few lights. The load cable will be a 2.5mm 3 core H07RN-F which will go into a junction box in the garage and from there will continue to the sockets. For the sockets I used a 1.9mm?(thats what the...

Hi all, I'm building a single skin brick garage. The garage is 6.1m long and 3.1m wide. I need some advice on getting the roof started. I'm planning to put the joists accross the shorter span and have the fall going towards the back of the garage. I will be using 47mm x 175mm C24 timber for...
